and useful Improvements in Liners for Centrifugal Separatous, of whichthe following is a specification.

This inventionl pertains to centrifugal separators, and relates moreparticularlyto the interior part or liner of centrifugal creamseparatorsof that kind wherein separate articulated liner plates held bysupporting rings are arranged concentrically around atube positionedcentrally Within the drumof the machine.

'lhe annexed drawing illustrates an example ot' a construction embodyingthe vinvention, in which Figure l is a horizontal"section of a drum orbowl on the line Fig. 2 a vertical section of Fig. 1. Fig. plates.-

In the drawing, drum or bowl, the same being provided with a cover, 7).Said bowl is provided, at its center. with a tube, 0, fixed to the coverand connected to the drum, a, by a bolt, d, the latter being providedwith a suspension hook. .lu the drum, (1, are positioned a false bottom,0, of known construction, and a liner composed of separated linerplates, f.

The liner of this invention embodies in its construction a plurality ofliner 4 which are provided with stops, to hold them apart, and saidliner plates are fixedly comicctcd (by means of rivets, 1', for ex-:uuplc) in the central part of the drum to pivotal rods or bars, /1.,the latter being, preferably, cylindrical. These pivotal rods or barsrest agaisnt the periphery of the central tube, 0. and are maintained inposition bylhc ring, 1', which is introduced in slots, s, of the linerplates before said liner plates are fixed to the rods or bars, it. Eachliner plate is provided. on its inner vertical edge, with one of the,slots. .9, as shown more clearly in Fig. 3. said slot extendinglongitudinally audio somc-clvtent into the body of the liner plate. Thering; 2', partially fills the slots, a, in the series CD.0f Fig. 2. onthe line AB 3 illustrates one of the liner ring so as to constitute aliner,

directly. As

a designates the so-called to approach the v gaging this particularaccessible at all parts :tor cleaning and dry.

plates, f,

ot' liner plates, and the liner plates are connected by the structiondescribed, the liner constitutes an inseparable whole, and that. it doesnot require any of its parts to be separately removed ior cleaningpurposes. The construction is devoid of grooves or recesses in thesupporting ring, which would be inaccessible without removing the parts;further. when the. rods or bars. l2, position on the drum, to which barsthe liner plates are fixed. they automatically take their proper placeand without, leaving an spaces between them, in such a way that the areplaced in Patented Sept. 6, 1910.;

setting of the liner plates is determined in an absolute manner:furthermore, the liner platescannot become inclined nor become displacedfrom engagement with the'central tube, 0," during cleaning they canswing sidewise with the bars, h, as the axes of movement, while beingmaintained by the ring, 2', so that the particular plate to be cleanedmay be adjusted or shifted on the ring so as correspoi'nling bar, 71',to the center of the ring, '1', thus completely disenbar and to renderit lug purposes.

From the foregoing description it; will be seen that all the parts ofour liner for separating drums are may be inserted into. drum while. insuch whereby the user cannot uiislay or lose any of the parts. nor arethe parts liable tobe damaged, when the liner is removed from the drum.W'hen so removed, all the parts of the liner are easily accessible forcleaning them. and no interstices or crevices are provided in any of theties can lodge. l urthcrmore. upon the insertion of the liner into thedrum. the parts are. so positioucd' that the equilibrium of the drum isassured without difiiculty and without the necessity for adjusting orregulating the parts in a particular manner.

What we claim is: a 1. In a liner for centrifugal sepaiators, a linerplates adapted to or removed from, the

supporting ring,

connected so that they I connected condition,

parts wherein impuri-' slide on said ring. and means located in the lvided with a radial slot. whereby said liner interior of the supportingring, whereby the plates are adapted to slide on the supportliner platesare maintaintal in position and are adapted, also to be rotatedindependently when the liner witlulrawn from. the

bowl of the separator.

2. In a liner i'or centrifugal separators. a supporting ring, liner].)lates adapted to slide on said ring, a central tube within. aseparator bowl, and supporting means bodily connected with the linerplates and filling the space between the stu'iporting ring and saidcentral tube.

In a liner for centrifugal separators, a supporting rin g liner platesadapted to slide on said ring, a. central tube Within a separator bowl,and a supporting member tor each liner plate, said members being;positioned between the supporting ring and said central tube.

4. In a liner for centrifugal separators, a supporting ring, linerplates adapted to slide on said ring, a central tube or the separatorbowl, and a supporting member for each liner plate, said supportingmembers being rigidly connected to the liner plates and engaging theinner face of the supporting ring and the outer face of said centraltube.

5. In a liner for centrifugal separators, a supporting ring, linerplates adapted to slide on said ring, a tube positioned within the bowlof the separator, and rods connected to the liner plates and locatedbetween the supporting ring and said tube.

6. In a liner for centrifugal separators, a supporting ring, linerplates each proing ring, and a plurality of rods each eon- 40 nected toone liner plate and positioned within the supporting ring.

7. In combination. a bowl of a centrifugal separator, a tube within saidbowl, a supporting ring coruteutric with said tube, a 5 plurality ofrods positioned intermediate the supporting ring and said tube, saidrods engaging with the supporting ring and said tube, and linerplatesadapted to slide 11 the supporting ring and each attached to one of saidrods.

8. In a rentri'lugal separator, a liner comprisinga supporting memberadapted to be positioned substautialtr (Ventrally within a separatorbowl or \essel, aseries of plates each curred in the direction of thelength thereof, said plates baring sliding engagement with saidsupporting member, means positioned within the supporting i'nember li'orsparing the inner ends of said curved 60 plates, and a spacing devicecarried by the outer ends of each curred plate, said plates with thesupporting; weather and the spac ing devices being insertible andremovable. as a unit with respeetto the. bowl or vessel.

In testimon whereof we. have signed our names to this specification inthe. presence ol. two subscribing witnesses.
